Late March in Stellenbosch brings with it a kind of weather that feels curated for joy – warm sunshine, crisp blue skies and just enough of an autumn breeze to keep the energy flowing. It’s the kind of day that begs for picnic blankets, shared laughter and soundtracks that carry long after sunset.

Galaxy KDay is a family-friendly festival, blending world-class entertainment with immersive tech experiences. From kids darting between activity zones to adults soaking in live performances, the event offers something for every generation.

The Galaxy KDay stage will be the centrepiece of a rich mix of South African stars and rising voices that hit every note. From soulful storytelling to high-energy dance sets, the line-up is a great rhyme to Mzansi’s music culture.

With just days to go, anticipation is nearing its peak, with festival outfits and essentials being assembled in the Mother City. The countdown to Galaxy KDay is officially on, and Stellenbosch is ready to play host to a memorable gathering.

Beyond the music and festivities, Galaxy KDay offers a glimpse into what’s next. Festivalgoers will have the opportunity to experience the new Samsung Galaxy S26 series, and explore how the new era of the AI phone is designed to simplify, enhance, and elevate everyday life.

As the sun sets at the picturesque Stellenbosch, and the final notes echo across Sandringham Farm, Galaxy KDay will leave behind more than just great photos – it will be a collection of shared experiences and beautiful stories.

Save the date – Saturday, 28 March 2026 – and join us at the beautiful Sandringham Farm in Stellenbosch from 9am to 7pm for a day full of sunshine, family fun, and unforgettable music, brought to you by Samsung and Kfm 94.5.

These latest artists add exciting textures to an already packed line-up, joining the likes of pop sensation Will Linley, soulful veterans Liquideep, commanding vocalist Ard Matthews (Just Jinjer), heartfelt Msaki, lyrical dynamo YoungstaCPT, and crowd favourite Booshle G. This carefully crafted bill promises a rich and diverse musical journey for everyone attending.

Hennie Myburgh, Kfm 94.5 Station Manager, says: “Welcoming Lordkez, Templeboys and DJ Kent adds exciting new dimensions to Galaxy KDay 2026. Sandringham Farm provides a stunning backdrop for these extraordinary artists to connect with our Western Cape audiences. Our mission remains to create unforgettable moments of music, joy and community – and this broadened line-up promises just that.

One of the biggest events of the year is about to bring Cape Town to a standstill once again. Brought to life through Samsung’s partnership with Kfm 94.5, Galaxy KDay is one of the most highly anticipated events on the entertainment calendar. If last year’s event was anything to go by, the picturesque Meerendal Wine Estate will be the only place for Cape Town music and fun lovers to be on Saturday, 2 March 2024.

The partnership between Samsung and Kfm 94.5 is a testament to the intersection of technology and lifestyle. By joining forces, these two entities aim to provide a unique musical experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

More than just a music festival, Galaxy KDay is a celebration of lifestyle and culture. Samsung will infuse the event with a dynamic and immersive vibe, where attendees will have the chance to experience the latest Samsung devices, particularly the AI-powered Galaxy S24 Series, thus creating a seamless blend of music, technology, and lifestyle. The Galaxy S24 makes for one of the best concert companions thanks to its cutting-edge camera system that gives users the power to capture every memorable moment, and fresh new ways to create with AI Zoom. Its Nightography feature means users can continue to take excellent photos and videos even towards the tail end of the concert when lighting conditions get dimmer.

At the heart of Galaxy KDay lies its stellar line-up, featuring some of South Africa’s most loved artists. From the multi-talented Zakes Bantwini, the iconic Mango Groove to the soulful Shekhinah, the energetic Early B, the versatile Emo Adams, the chart-topping Mi Casa, the Hip Hop lyrical genius Youngsta CPT, the acoustic sensation Jeremy Loops, and the Afro-house maestro Sun-El Musician – the stage is set for an extraordinary musical experience.

“At Kfm, we unite a diverse community every day through the power of media. Partnering with Samsung to bring this connection to life in a single location is truly extraordinary. Galaxy KDay transcends mere music; it embodies a cultural experience, bringing to life the aspirations of our audience to see their favourite artists perform live, artists they’ve come to know and love through our station,” says Kfm Station Manager Hennie Myburgh.

Adding to the excitement of the much-anticipated event is acclaimed soul maestro Lloyiso’s first time performing in front of the Galaxy KDay crowd.

Additionally, Afrikaans music legend Kurt Darren has again signed on, bringing his unique charm and enthusiasm to the day. The three icons are poised to inject a fresh surge of energy into the event.

Bantwini’s presence follows the seismic release of his latest album, ‘The Star Is Reborn’, and his performance promises to leave festivalgoers clamouring for more. “I’ve had the incredible privilege of performing on stages all around the world, but there’s truly something magical about performing in front of a home crowd. The energy, the connection, it’s unlike anything else and I’m looking forward to this spectacular local music event,” says Bantwini.

Celebrated musician and ‘Speak’ hitmaker, Lloyiso – whose real name is Loyiso Gijana, says he is excited to share the stage with so many big names and young artists.

“Galaxy KDay is a highlight on the South African music calendar, and I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of it this year. I can’t wait to step onto that stage and share the day and my latest body of work with all my incredible fans. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience, filled with music, energy, and moments we’ll cherish forever,” says Lloyiso.

Darren’s infectious charm have ignited audiences for years, and his presence ensures yet another unforgettable performance. “It’s always an honour to perform at Galaxy KDay. The energy and vibe are unmatched, and I can’t wait to rock the stage once again!” says Darren.
